I like to claim the title of “Amateur Expert” in almost every area, but if there’s one thing I know, it is television. The clip is below.
I think I’ve watched enough television to be able to spot it’s high water mark, and I would have to say it’s this performance by Alec Baldwin and Tracy Morgan on NBC’s 30 Rock.
The show has the illuminated premise of a situational comedy about itself. It’s adequately answers the question, “What would reality tv look like if it were created by Lewis Carroll?” It’s a mockumentary about what goes on behind the scenes at the network’s television headquarters. And that’s just for starters.
It’s got Alec Baldwin, who, after a long stint in feature films, has exploited his TVQ and returned to his roots in television acting. There’s a phenomenal team of writers powering the teleplay, Tina Fey, Tracey Morgan, and a fantastic supporting cast.
Anyway, enjoy.
